Abstract
As a result of the first session of intravenous laser irradiation of blood, it has been established that changes in the blood cellular elements, according to the data of cytometry, and in the blood and plasma viscosity are analogous to the changes occurring when a blood specimen is being incubated at a temperature of 48°C for 1 h or during its storage for 18 days at 12°C in a refrigerator: average dimensions of leukocytes decrease, thrombocytes decline in number, the deformability of erythrocytes is impaired, and the viscosity of the blood increases. Analogous changes in the cytometric and rheological indices, as well as a small hemolysis of eryth-rocytes, were observed on irradiation of a blood specimen in vitro. The suggestion has been made that the therapeutic effect of intravenous laser irradiation of blood is due to the generation of young cellular elements and their ejection into the blood channel instead of those damaged by the laser radiation.
